Three things which are yellow:

1.  A sweatshirt and a duvet cover

While I like yellow, I don't own much of that colour.  However, I have a yellow sweatshirt featuring Winnie-the-Pooh, which says 'I wish there was another day between Saturday and Sunday'.  And the duvet cover I bought last winter is yellow, with white rabbits on it.  Because all the green duvets (which would have gone with the walls and curtains) were boring and the yellow goes perfectly well.


2.  Sunshine

Now, I know technically sunshine doesn't have a colour, but traditionally the sun is painted yellow.  And sunshine generally means an uplift in the mood, so it's a distinct plus.  Although, as a true Brit, I am also capable of saying 'It's too hot!'


3.  Daffodils

Bright yellow and a confirmation that it's spring.  So another feel good sign after a long, cold(ish) and grey winter. 


Fanfics I've written with yellow:

Mary's Little Secret an updated version of ACD's The Yellow Face for BBC Sherlock, written pre-series 4

Wordsworth
an ACD Retirement era ficlet, in which daffodils play a part

The Casebook of Tigger Holmes which includes Pooh Bear as one of the Watsons, (the other is Eeyore) in homage to David Burke and Edward Hardwicke in the Granada TV series

It's funny to think about because I love yellow as well but can't think of hand of anything I own that's yellow except for a few book jackets.

Sunshine and daffodils are definitely both fantastic things!

The duvet sounds lovely. I also am fond of yellow, though I don't have too many things in that color (although my house is daisy yellow).

Definitely daffodils, you have to include them in anything to do with yellow:) It is such a cheery colour.

Tigger Holmes is quite charming. His sideways logic on fairy tales works very well indeed.
